    My mom and sister are in town tonight; want to take them to a casual dinner spot. My sister is in college and wanted to take them somewhere that she would get a kick out of (and unusual from the typical college town fare). Any recommendations (preferably in the Bucktown/Wicker Park/West Town area)?

    Thanks.

    Something like Hot Chocolate might be nice. Chicks dig it.

    Maybe The Southern (former Chaise Lounge) on North Avenue.

    I had a great dinner last night at The Bristol and was reminded that it belongs in my regular rotation. Definitely try the apple salad, English pea ravioli, and summer squash, assuming they're still on the menu.

    Or right next door is Bluebird, where I had a great meal not to far back.

    He was constantly reminded of how startlingly different a place the world was when viewed from a point only three feet to the left.

    These are all great suggestions. Thanks. The sister is now requesting Mexican. I like Cafe Con Leche, but any other ideas? Would love to take them to Big Star but she's not 21 yet.
